Hi! I'm Laura!

Here you'll find bits of the beautiful things in my life - my new little family, the clothes I wear and food I eat, things I make, and a little bit of finishing up medical school at Harvard and becoming a doctor. I hope you can find some inspiration and take note of all of the beautiful things in your life too!
